Jamie Dimon and Larry Fink — two of American's most influential financiers — said it is the job of leaders to reject intolerance and hate as they disbanded a forum of senior advisers to US president Donald Trump.

Their comments came out late Wednesday after it emerged two business councils set up to advise Trump had been disbanded amid the controversy surrounding the President's response to last weekend's racism-fuelled violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
